“ | The worst part about this job is you give people a second chance and you still end up having to taze them. | „ |
~ The Donut Cop's philosophy. |
The Donut Cop is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is the chief of police in Elmore, but is terrible at doing his job.
He is voiced by Dan Russell.
Appearance[]
He is a rotund, anthropomorphic donut with pink frosting. He has a large, hollow mouth with four ovular teeth, blue eyes, and he wears a navy police uniform with a golden star on his torso.
Personality[]
Despite being an officer of the law, Donut Cop is extremely moronic and incompetent. He is often oblivious to criminal activity, wrongfully arresting people, slacking off by eating food instead of doing his job, and causing chaos when he should be doing the opposite. He is quite arrogant, often believing he is doing his job properly while reprimanding those who criticize him.
Although he often has good intentions, there are many instances where he acts abusively towards citizens, either to protect his own interests or for his own enjoyment. He is also seen committing various crimes throughout the series, despite being a police officer.

- "The Law" is his first and only major role.
